Hook FOR GAHNIENTS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 19, 1907.

Application filed July 24. 1906. Eerie] No. 327,519.

To all whom it may cancer-1t: I

Be it known that I, ALBERT WAGNER, a i citizen of the United States of America, residing at Eihhorn, in the county ofAllegheny i and State of Pennsylvania, have invenLed I rovements in Hooks for Garments, of whic 1 the following 5 is :1 Specification, reference being had therein drawing i. This. invention re ates to a. combined troubelt-sumzort a'ud its object is to provide ii. simple and effective device for i retaining a trousers-belt in osition. 1 ,1

e invention consists o a trousers-hook i provided with a. projecting performed lug, adapted to receive a buckle-tongue, and the I construction of the improvement will be i ing drawin s, which tion with the eceom'pan cation, and its novel form a part of this speci features will'be defined in the appended claims. i

In the drawings,

Fiiure 1 is s t perspective view of the improved 1 e t-support shown in connection with abelt end'pair of trousers.

F g. 2 IS a pers eotive view of the same detached, showing its outer side and Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the reverse side of the eviee.

The improvement comprises a, metallic portion 1, adapted to be secured to a trousers weistband, as shown, by I means of rrrforeted in s 2, a book 3, and an outwardly-bent lug 4, ormed with an open mg 5. R

It will be observed that the imnrovement, which consists of the perforated lug 4, adds nothing to the cost of the trousers-hook, as said lug is merely the out-away portion of the hook which is ordinarily severed from the blank. I retain this cut-away portion, perforate it, and bend it outwerd to present it in osition to receive the tongue 6- of the belt-buckle 7.

The utility of the improvement is illustreted in Fig. 1. After the belt 8 is passed through the retaining-straps 9 of-the trousers the buckle-tongue ing in the lug 4, after which passed through one of the holes in the belt, as shown. Thus the belt is supported in proper -position nnd' revon'ted from dropping, down or working up above the waistband.

The device is simple and inexpensive and, as above explained, may be readily stamped out of sheet metal.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Potent, is-

1. A trousershook having an integral outwardly-projecting perforated lug to receive a buc le-tongue.

' 2. A combination trousers-hook and beltsupport comprising a body portion adapted to be attached to a waistband, an inwardly- 1 cnt hook, and an outwardly-bent perforated g A combination trousers-hook and beltsuprort, comprising a body poi-lion, en inwerdlybent hook, 'end a. perfirrelod lu; formed by cutting a portion of he metal of the hook and bending to be engaged by the tongue of a belt-buoklo.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT \VAGNER.
